This is a $500 Xbox One. Why would you buy a $500 Xbox One when the going price is $350 right now? Because this Xbox One will boot faster, load games quicker, and comes with an amazing new gamepad you have to see to believe.

Razer loves to steal the show. Every CES, there's some crazy new project from the gaming hardware company. Apparently their longtime rival Mad Catz was having enough of that, because they pulled out all the freaking stops this year.

Some of the biggest brains behind the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset are on stage right now chatting about the future of VR, and they've got some bittersweet news. They just don't yet see any way to build a proper controller to go with their incredible headset.

We've all been there: About to whip your friend's ass in a not-so-friendly game of Mario Kart when you realize there's only one controller! You should have invested that $20 you blew on booze on this: Ion's portable Go Pad controller, which folds up to be the size of a golf ball, and gives you eight buttons. It's also…

Logitech just announced a revamp of their Gamepad line of PC controllers, taking a little bit of visual inspiration from here and little from there (that means Xbox and Playstation) for three affordable new USB controllers: F310, F510, and F710.

To open the secret entrance to the cave, try left-left-up-left-down-down-right-left then a-y-y-x-b-a and then hold the d-pad down while clicking y-y-b-b. Press start twice, and you will get in. [Flopculture]

The iPhone gamepad case is back with an overhauled design that brings controls to the front, and adds dual analog nubs (the same as the Pandora gaming handheld). There's also an internal battery that charges the iPhone while playing.

Christian from Defense Tech is at the Modern Day Marine Expo, where instead of having girls in mini-bikinis caressing speedboats and yachts, they have girls in mini-bikinis caressing torpedoes and gatling guns. Like this one on board the Osprey, which uses a controller with the same shape and functionality of an Xbox…

The M.A.D. Gamepad is a mini USB gamepad that features an even minier steering wheel. We're not sure it's the most practical, ergonomic gamepad we've ever seen, but we sure admire the effort and, we'll be honest, the ludicrousness. Here's what just the wheel looks like:

As a result of Nintendo's loss in court to a Texas-based company called Anascape, the judge ruled that all sales of the Wii Classic Controller and the GameCube controller need to be temporarily halted until funds can be placed into an escrow account. What's the impact on you, Joe or Dan Consumer? Starting today, July…

Evergreen's new Genius Navigator 365 is described by the English translation of Impress as "a USB gamepad deformed laser mouse", and we couldn't agree more. The mouse is 1600dpi, the gamepad has eight buttons and a D-pad, and it sells for $33 (¥3,499). Be warned, of course, that you get what you pay for. [Impress]

Kraft, the company that I exclusively associate with the oh-so-fattening (and delicious) mac & cheese, has this odd deal on their site. They are giving away a free DDR-style dancing pad for the PC and free copies of the DDR knock-off, StepMania. They do want you to pay shipping, which is $6, but that isn't too bad for…

Similar to the Wolf Claw keyboard, this WOLFKING NV Green Warrior lets you keep a bunch of keys close to your left hand for easy access during FPS games on the PC. There's the standard keys that the left hand usually has access to on a standard keyboard, plus all the function (F1-F12) keys arranged in a circle.

Retro, chic, stupid, fashionable, all of the above? The JC-U1906T gamepad from Elecom is essentially all of that. It has a nice NES controller feel but with worse buttons that seem to be labeled in some kind of unknown language. The only buttons that are understandable are "Auto" and "Clear" and everyone knows those…

Some things are a joke. The J-Mat "gaming system" from XaviX along with all their other "gaming systems" are probably the epitome of the word "joke". First off, their company name sounds like the next pill that will get your johnson up from Merck. The J-Mat is basically a toned down 1988 Nintendo Power Pad. The…

If you love your cellphone games but hate using the numberpad as controls, this new Aving game pad device is small, easy to carry around and pretty comfortable to use for mobile gaming. It basically has two wings that remind me of a pinball machine that fold back on themselves to make it, as mentioned, extremely…

I know there are hardcore gamers out there, that will do and spend anything to increase their gaming edge. I really have doubts that there are hardcore enough mobile phone gamers that actually need a gamepad to play Brick Attack, but who knows. For those diehard mobile gamers I guess Alienware heard your calling and…
